220. It is written, \u201cIs this how you repay the Lord?\u201d \u201cThis\u201d is the Shechina. The letter Hey of the word Hibaraam is small, implying Malchut. The Hey of \u201cTHE Lord\u201d is big, implying Bina. Hey in any place implies the Creator, and is called \u201cmother.\u201d However, they are two worlds, Bina and Malchut, of which it is written, \u201cFrom the world and to the world,\u201d from Bina to Malchut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is written, \u201cwith a fourth of a hin of beaten oil.\u201d This means that Yesod of ZA draws the oil from the upper world to the lower world, Malchut. It is written, \u201cIs this how you repay the Lord?\u201d This comprises three degrees together, which are the upper world, which is the big Hey of \u201cTHE Lord,\u201d HaVaYaH himself, ZA, who draws from her the abundance to \u201cthis,\u201d the Shechina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
221. The Creator did not remove His love from Israel. Wherever they were, the Creator was among them, as it is written, \u201cI will not spurn them, neither will I abhor them so as to destroy them utterly and break My covenant with them.\u201d It is precisely \u201cwith them,\u201d that the Creator is among them, \u201cwith them,\u201d and never departs from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
222. It is written, \u201cAnd I will go down to save him from the hand of Egypt.\u201d It should have said \u201cI will go down,\u201d is the \u201cand\u201d redundant? The \u201cand\u201d turns the future into past. When Jacob went down to Egypt, the Creator went down with him in order to save him from the hand of Egypt. Had He not been among them, they would not have been able to tolerate the exile, as it is written, \u201cI will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
223. Wherever Israel are present, the Creator is among them. Wherever the sages of the generation go, the Creator goes with them, as it is written, \u201cFor He will command for you His angels,\u201d and it is written, \u201cAnd Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. And when Jacob saw them, he said, \u2018This is God\u2019s camp.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is written, \u201cThese are the generations of the heaven and the earth.\u201d The heaven is to include the Creator, ZA, and the earth is to include the Creator, Malchut, who is called earth. Anything below Atzilut, the three worlds BYA, are called \u201cthe generations of the heaven and the earth,\u201d from whom they were born, from ZA and Malchut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
225. BeHibaraam [when they were created], Be Hey Beraam [created them with a Hey], with Malchut. Thus, how are they the generations of the heaven and the earth, meaning from ZA, too? It is all one thing, since when the heaven, ZA, conjoined with Malchut, then the letter Hey, Malchut, brought forth generations [offspring], and these are called \u201cthe generations of the heaven and the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why was it explained that BeHibaraam [when they were created] is BeAvraham [in Abraham], whose letters are the same, and what is the connection of Abraham to this? It is all one thing, in Abraham, Hesed of ZA. The heaven is ZA, since ZA begins to expand from Hesed. The first Sefira of ZA is Hesed, and you find that the name Abraham, too, implies ZA, like the name \u201cheaven.\u201d When it is said \u201ccreated them with a Hey,\u201d it is earth, Malchut, and you find that heaven and earth are implied in the letters of \u201cwhen they were created. It is all one thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
226. \u201cThese are the generations of the heaven and the earth.\u201d This world was created with Hey, with Malchut, as it is written, BeHibaraam, BeHey Beraam. And the next world, Bina, was created with Yod, Hochma, as it is written, \u201cAnd a river comes out of Eden to water the garden.\u201d The river, Bina, comes out of Eden, Hochma, to water the garden, ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA river comes out of Eden\u201d includes the heaven, ZA, who is called a \u201criver.\u201d The garden includes the earth, Malchut, for ZA comes out from HB, and both are called \u201cEden,\u201d and waters Malchut, the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
227. It is written, \u201ca garden fountain, a well of living water, and flowing streams from Lebanon.\u201d \u201cA garden fountain,\u201d the heaven, ZA, is a river, which is a well of living water, as it is written, \u201cAnd the servants of Isaac dug a well there,\u201d and it is written, \u201cAnd he moved from there and dug another well.\u201d \u201cFlowing streams from Lebanon,\u201d from Hochma. The flowing streams are crowned above, in Hochma, and climb to the head of the king, in GAR of ZA, as it is written, \u201cAnd Your kindness above all the earth,\u201d as it is extended from Hochma, above ZA, the heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
228. \u201cFrom Lebanon,\u201d from Hochma, from which the flowing streams, the abundance, comes to Bina. It flows and is extended to all the angles, to the four directions HG TM of ZA. Until those fountains flow and come down to gather to the place called the \u201cgreat sea,\u201d Malchut, as it is written, \u201cAll the streams go to the sea,\u201d where the streams HG TM of ZA go to Malchut, the sea, and it is written, \u201cLook to the rock from which you were hewn,\u201d which is Abraham, Hesed of ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After \u201cAnd flowing streams from Lebanon, it is written, \u201cA locked garden is my sister, my bride,\u201d Malchut, who receives the streams from ZA. Generations emerge from Malchut to all the worlds, as it is written, BeHibaraam, BeHey Beraam, with Malchut, truly with Abraham, Hesed of ZA, which are the streams that are drawn from upper Hochma, who is called Lebanon, to ZA, and from ZA to Malchut, from which there are all the generations in BYA, and even actually in Jacob, Tifferet of ZA, since Tifferet contains HG within it, and it is all one thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
